Asalamu Alaikum
Nothing major but today I witnessed the most bizarre thing ever. Every morning, I catch 3 buses before I get to school. Blah, forget that. On the last bus, there normally is a sister who is on it (if I'm on time). She's covered in head to toe, niqaab, jilbab everything.
Now out of respect, I sit in front of her on the bus and not behind her. (Would you say that's respect of me being stupid?) There is only us two muslims (80% of the time) on the bus to school.
Today, someones phone went off. It rang, and rang, and rang, and no one answered. I daren't turn around to see what's going on because of this sister. As soon as we get off, this sister walks off in the other direction and answers her phone.
I was taken aback by this and yet cannot understand as to why she did such a thing. Anyone have any idea? I can only think of her not wanting to speak out loud so that everyone (I) can then hear her voice.
What do you guys think? Piety or stupidity?
